Derby County fans have been reacting to Ian Holloway’s comments about their treatment of manager Phillip Cocu.

The former Blackpool and Queens Park Rangers boss has criticised Rams supporters after a section of the travelling Pride Park faithful booed off Cocu and the Derby players at half-time in the defeat to Brentford.

Holloway went to visit Cocu at Moor Farm earlier this week, and he said the pair spoke about the criticism that Derby received at Griffin Park.

“What shocked me is that they have already been on the wrong end of abuse from fans disenchanted with them being employed in the first place,” said Holloway.

“Cocu was vilified during last Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Brentford, having seen a much-changed team go down by the same score to Nottingham Forest in a midweek Carabao Cup tie.

“He was sworn at and told in no uncertain terms to go back where he came from. These same so-called fans have inevitably taken to social media to voice their displeasure and will no doubt be hoping to influence their club’s board into making another change.”

Andrew Patrick: “Derby fans are quick to get on the back of a manager who has only been in charge eight games, and let's be honest who has a very average squad of player's. It's a pity they don't put as much effort in to getting behind the team at Pride Park. Its more like a library now.”

Mercian2: “Brian Clough finished 16th in his first season and he didn't do too badly. Have faith.”

Jack Brown: “Being negative and toxic towards the team won’t get us anywhere, performances against Forest and Brentford were disappointing but calling players out and outing the manager after 8 games into a four-year plan on the back of an unsettled pre-season is ludicrous!”

SuperRams11: “Cocu has had less stick than Keogh and he is still at the club.”
